Snapshots of 2012: E-R photographers pick favorites from the last year

An unidentified man watches wild turkeys that appear to have lost their sense of fear of humans as they cross Vallombrosa Avenue at Madrone Avenue into Bidwell Park on March 7. "Many people have noticed an influx of wild turkeys throughout the city of Chico recently," said photographer Bill Husa. "I feel like this photo shows how integrated into our communities this wild bird is becoming. I like when nature and humans combine. It reminds me of 'getting back to nature'."
